Should cannabis be legalised? Reviews

I will openly hold my hands up and say that in my youth I dabbled in Cannabis, as did many other teenagers my age. I took my first toke at 14 and by 16 was smoking it, not on a regular basis but quite often. At that age I had learned about all the potential risks in school and was 100% educated on the decision I was making. There are ...  Read the complete review

I like many others have experienced smoking cannabis, in my youth of course and purely for recreational reasons. Those days are long gone but here are my views on it. For recreational use I think that it does much less harm than drinking, how many fights have you seen break out outside a pub due to smoking pot? Depending on ...  Read the complete review

First of all, Cannabis is a medical drug; it has healing properties. You don't see that in cigarettes, right? Plus how many deaths a year does smoking cause? Thousands? Tens of thousands? And how many deaths a year does Cannabis cause? Zero. There have been no recorded deaths from this substance. Plus people get put away in ...  Read the complete review

It is already proven that cannabis is no worse a drug than alcohol or cigarettes, so why should it be illegal when these are widely available to buy? The cost to the public through inconsistent and harsh punishment of people charged with cannabis related offences is also huge. Most of these cases get dropped, meaning time and ...  Read the complete review

My view on this is quite short, People choose whether to drink or not or smoke tobacco or not, with proper investment the negative properties of cannabis could be easily reduced, alcohol is one of the worst things in this country purely for the fact it is legal to slowly kill yourself but on top of that it costs the tax payers ...  Read the complete review

As a 21 year old student, I am not unaware of the use of cannabis or the frequency of such. Being a psychology student as well, I am not unaware of the effects that it can cause! In the interests of presenting a balanced view, I'm going to split this review into sections - something I don't normally take the time to do, but on this topic ...  Read the complete review

The simple answer to the question is NO, I have seen plenty of cannabis related issues and I think it underestimated how dangerous this drug can be. First of I think cannabis would be ok if people used it occasionally and I cant really see any problem with that. However anyone I know that uses it does not use it ...  Read the complete review

@ My opinion @ When it comes to cannabis, i am against taking it, but others use it like cigarettes. Now lets remember cigarettes are a drug which have drug like effects on those who use them BUT: cannabis has stronger effects of a "high" that cigarettes don't have - they are relaxing like cigarettes but would leave ...  Read the complete review

If you'd have asked this question when I was younger I would have said 'Definetly, it should be legalised' and not only because I was smoking this drug myself but because I had bought into the whole excuses that cannabis users use such as 'Alcohol is more damaging and we all do that' and 'Doctors prescribe it for people with MS so it ...  Read the complete review

We all seem to have different opinions on this issue. There are obvious pro's and con's with cannabis, personally though, i'm totally for legalisation. :) i think it's pretty pointless for governments to try and control what we put into our bodies. I'm a firm believer of choice, i think, within reason, we should be able to choose what we do to our bodies, how we live our lives etc. I think it's down to the individual to know there limits, and if they can handle drugs or not. For the times i've had cannabis it's been just fine, i think if used by the right people, cannabis is alright. When you have such harmful drugs like tobacco and alcohol so widely available, i see no harm in having a much less harmful one legal. Thanks for reading! :)

Introduction ---------------- The subject of cannabis legalisation is one of great controversy in the United Kingdom, but does that mean that it is right for politicians to be criticised for bringing it up in government discussion, or for chief medical staff's advice to be ignored for not fitting in with the 'regime'? ...  Read the complete review

I've never been high. I've never been drunk. I've had some alcohol, but not for a while. I've never done any other recreational drug. I really don't plan to. I like my body & brain the way it is, so I'll lay off the mind altering substances. But hey, if you want to do it? Why the hell shouldn't ya? Why do we espouse freedom of choice ...  Read the complete review

I'm not all that big on weed being legalised in that I don't really care personally, but logically it's laughable weed is illegal. Not only can it slow the progress of alzheimers and cancer it's generally safer than alcohol, according to research and basically anyone who's seen someone either high or rat-ars*d. Heavy drinkers are over 2x ...  Read the complete review

well i am generally anti drugs in any shape or form, but im no prude either. why would you want to legalise any kind of drug that reels you into false feelings, emotions and security. im not quite sure why anyone would want this legalised especially if you have children. now i also understand whether it is legalised or not people will ...  Read the complete review

Should cannabis be legalised (or, at least, depenalised)? Well, obviously! Aside from the obvious benefits of smoking weed (pain relief, pleasure, relaxation), there are many for the rest of the population also. Let's imagine weed has been legalised. Instead of going to one's illegal drug dealer on a street corner or in their ...  Read the complete review

Marijuana is probably the safest legal or illegal drug in existence. Despite the scare stories in the tabloid press it has been shown to have a variety of beneficial effects, such as pain relief and appetite increase for people undergoing chemotherapy, or in treating glaucoma for example. A lot of the legalisation organisations such as ...  Read the complete review

I'm a very big Marijuana activist. I believe in proper taxation of Marijuana in at least USA/Canada. Millions of the population partake in Marijuana use, and did you know even half of the users in USA's jails are in there because of marijuana? Think about it; we legalize marijuana, effectively tax it to stimulate the economy, ...  Read the complete review

Before i start may i mention we are all entitled to our own beliefs, so please don't judge me on my discussion. Thank you. I personally believe that cannabis should be legalised. I'm not a user myself but know of people who are. Cannabis has been listed far worse then it really is. And people go on what doctors and the ...  Read the complete review

Drugs in any way shape or form are illegal for a reason. Now I would vouch for cannabis being legalised if it was not for some of the idiots that use it. For example, do you really want to be driving your car down the motor way to find yourself behind some swerving idiot doing 10 miles an hour, completely off his/her face?? Me ...  Read the complete review

I first used cannabis the day before I turned 18, and have been using it ever since; through my A Levels, through my Uni Exams, quite often. I have ...  Read the complete review
